Next I did a frog. But this time the florals were different. I tried to depict water hyacinths. Both the flowers and the leaves are larger than in the other pieces I've done. Because they were larger, they were harder for me to paint in watercolor. But the frog was hardest of all. This required layering. I don't have much watercolor experience, so I'm always concerned about lifting previous layers, but it turned out OK.
I started this as an 8" x 8" piece, but wasn't satisfied with the composition, so I cropped it. The only problem with that is that I'll have to hand cut a custom size mat.
I especially like the colors.
